I find saving my data on files more reliable and less annoying than using windows.

What do you think about using files vs using windows to track the script achievements?

Sample from my fishingData.txt, wich it's generated from my fishing script:

Time: 171204
Initial Gold: 125825
Initial skill: 1123


Time: 172516
Time fishing: 790 s 13 min
Total time fishing: 790 s 13 min
Gold: 126912
Gold Gain: 1087
Total Gold Gain: 1087

Skill Gain: 0


Time: 174221

I've done a whole bunch of projects that use files to collect data.

But for a quick glance to see how the script is performing, there's no way you can beat a nice UI. 

So I think you should use both.  Honestly, the UI is also there to allow you to interact with the script for STOP/START/PAUSING/SETUP/ETC.  Normally my script just start with this interaction, but then morph into something that gives you an updated on the fly representation of how things are going.  Heck, even my Zoo donator does both so you can get a good historical record of your achievements.

So if you are only doing files, then you are missing out on some sexy looking scripts.  :p
